Large Deposit Definition No definition For recently opened accounts and recent individual deposits of more than 1 percent of the Adjusted Value (lesser of purchase price minus inducements or the appraised value) the mortgagee must obtain documentation of the deposits. The mortgagee must also verify that no debts were incurred to obtain part, or all, of the minimum required investment. Joint Funds Access Manual underwriting: No guidance TOTAL Scorecard: If the Borrower does not hold the deposit account solely, all non-borrower parties on the account must provide a written statement that the Borrower has full access and use of the funds.

Use 60% and deduct existing loans unless there is conclusive evidence that a higher percentage may be withdrawn. Evidence of liquidation is required if any portion is required for funds to close. 1
2 Interested Party Credits / Costs Paid Outside Closing / Minimum Required Investment No guidance. On the HUD 1 settlement statement, the lender may apply interested party credits to the closing costs and prepaid items including any items paid outside closing (POC). The refund of the borrower s POCs may be used toward the borrower s minimum required investment (MRI) if the lender documents that the POCs were paid with the borrower s own funds. Real Estate Tax Credits / Minimum Required Investment Credit Satisfactory Credit No guidance. Borrower has acceptable credit if: no late housing or installment debt and no major derogatory credit on revolving accounts. 2 Where real estate taxes are paid in arrears, the seller s real estate tax credit may be used to meet the MRI, if the Mortgagee documents that the Borrower had sufficient assets to meet the MRI and the Borrower paid closing costs at the time of underwriting. This permits the Borrower to bring a portion of their MRI to the closing and combine that portion with the real estate tax credit for their total MRI. A lender may approve a borrower if: acceptable payment history and no major derogatory credit on revolving accounts in the last 12 months. Acceptable payment history means: the borrower made all housing and installment debt payments on time for the previous 12 months, and there are no more than two 30-day late mortgage or installment payments in the last 24 months. Major derogatory credit means: payments made more than 90 days after the due date, or 3 or more payments made more than 60 days after the due date.

Average the income over the prior 2 years, or Use a 12-month average of hours at the current pay rate if the lender documents an increase in pay rate.
6 Self-Employed Declining Income FHA Guideline Changes Effective for Case Numbers The lender must establish the borrower s earnings trend from the prior two years using tax returns. Stable or increasing annual earnings are acceptable. Businesses showing a significant decline in income are not acceptable, even if the current income and ratios meet FHA guidelines. If the borrower s earnings trend for the previous two years is downward and the most recent tax return or P&L is less than the prior year s tax return, the borrower s most recent year s tax return or P&L must be used to calculate income. Income from a business with a greater than 20% decline in income over the analysis period is not acceptable. o If using an AUS, the lender must downgrade to manual underwriting. If there has been a 20% or greater decline, the income is still deemed stable if: o the reduction was the result of documented extenuating circumstances, o the income has been stable or increasing for at least 12 months, and o the borrower qualifies using the reduced income. Frequent Job Changes Okay if borrower continues to advance in income or benefits. If the borrower has changed jobs more than 3 times in the prior 12 months, or has changed lines of work, the lender must obtain: transcripts of training and education demonstrating qualification for the new position, or employment documentation evidencing continual increases in income and/or benefits. Hourly Earnings Calculation No guidance. If the hours do not vary, use the hourly rate. If the hours vary, use a two-year average. If the hours vary and there is a documented increase in pay rate, use a 12-month average of hours at the current pay rate. Overtime and Bonus Income Calculation General Rule Overtime or bonus income must have been received for the past 2 years. Exception Periods of less than 2 years may be acceptable if the lender can justify and document in writing why its use is acceptable. How to calculate the income: 6 General Rule Overtime or bonus income must have been received for the past 2 years. Exception Periods between 1 and 2 years may be acceptable if consistently earned for at least 1 year and likely to continue. How to calculate the income:
7 Overtime and Bonus Income o Average over 2 years. Calculation (cont d) o Average over more than 2 years if the income varies significantly from year to year. Commission Income Earned for 1-2 years okay if likely to continue. Earned less than 1 year okay if: o pay change from salary to commission for similar position with same employer or o borrower would qualify if commission income was not used. Calculate using two year average. o If income has decreased compensating factors are required. Voluntary Alimony or Child Support Payments Rental Income on Retained Primary Residence Non-taxable Income No guidance. Rental income may be counted when relocating outside or reasonable commute distance for job and borrower has 25% equity. Gross up using tax rate evidenced on last return. If borrower did not file a return use tax rate of 25%. 7 o Average over 2 years. o If the income from the current year decreases by 20% or more from the prior year, use the current year s income. Earned for at least 1 year in same or similar line of work and likely to continue. Calculate by subtracting unreimbursed business expenses from the lesser of: o the average net commission earned over the past 2 years (or however long it s been earned) and o the average income earned over the prior 1 year. Allowed If using a voluntary payment agreement, the lender: obtains 12 months canceled checks, deposit slips, or tax returns, if there is evidence of receipt for the most recent 6 months, may use the current payment to calculate income, & if there are not 6 months of consistent payments, may average the income received over the prior 2 years, or less if the income has not been received that long. Rental income may be counted when relocating and new residence is located at least 100 miles from previous residence. If no history of rental income since the last tax filing, borrower must have 25% equity. Gross up is using greater of 15% or actual tax rate. If borrower did not file a return use tax rate of 15%.
8 Pension Income Calculation No guidance. Use current amount if consistent. Fluctuating amounts require use of 2 year (or time of receipt, if less) average 401K Income Calculation No guidance.

Manual underwriting and TOTAL Scorecard: Gaps of less than 6 months require no explanation. TOTAL Scorecard: Gaps of less than 6 months require no explanation. Temporary Income Reduction No guidance. For borrowers with a temporary reduction of income due to a short-term disability or similar temporary leave, lenders may consider the Borrower s current income as Effective Income, if it can verify and document that: the Borrower intends to return to work; the Borrower has the right to return to work; and the Borrower qualifies for the mortgage taking into account any reduction of income due to the circumstance. For Borrowers returning to work before or at the time of the first Mortgage Payment due date, the mortgagee may use the Borrower s pre-leave income. 8 For Borrowers returning to work after the first Mortgage Payment due date, the mortgagee may use the Borrower s current income plus available surplus liquid asset Reserves, above and beyond any required Reserves, as an income supplement up to the amount of the Borrower s pre-leave income. The amount of the monthly income supplement is the total amount of surplus Reserves divided by the number of months between the first payment due date and the Borrower s intended date of return to work.
9 Insurance Flood Insurance No calculation details for coverage requirements. Amount at least equal to the lesser of either: Liabilities Deferred Loans Installment Debt <10 Mos Pymts Loan deferred more than 12 months from closing do not have to be counted in ratios (no mention of loans in forbearance).

The lender must obtain evidence of: the deferral; the outstanding balance; the terms of liability; and the anticipated monthly payment. For installment debt, the lender must use the actual monthly payment, or if the actual payment is unknown o the terms of the debt or o 5% of the outstanding balance. For a student loan, the lender must use the actual monthly payment or if the actual monthly payment is zero or is not available then use 2% of the outstanding balance. TOTAL Scorecard and Manual UW: May be excluded from ratios only if: they have remaining cumulative payments of less than or equal to 5% of the borrower s gross monthly income, and the borrower may not pay the debts down to achieve this percentage.
10 Alimony and Child Support Revolving Accounts Monthly Pymt Calculation May be treated as reduction from gross income or as a monthly obligation. Greater of 5% of the balance or $10 or the actual monthly payment May be treated either as reduction from gross income or as a monthly obligation. Obtain pay stubs covering at least 28 consecutive days to verify whether the borrower is subject to any order of garnishment. Calculate the monthly obligation from the greater of: o the amount shown on the most recent decree or agreement establishing the obligation, or o the monthly amount of the garnishment. 5% of the outstanding balance or payment shown on credit report or statement 30-Day Account (Accounts requiring payment in full each month) No guidance Not included in ratios if borrower has paid in full every month for past 12 months.
